The intention was to post about selling what we make today.

But I got caught in the beauty of the day while taking photos.

So here's to that. Leaves are kindly falling and soon we will see the sea.

34 winter sea views is a lot. Thank you Place.

Surprise at the mailbox!

...'tis the season, I know, but gifts arrived in the mail yesterday.

Thank you Mary and Elaine.

It's been warm again. No fires. Yesterday there was some leaf raking. And then some quiet stitching before bed.

This is the 4th corner on the new found space ring on Holding Pattern. Oh! How that little nine was woven right into one of the small squares at the bottom of the basket. It now holds pattern in a new way. Hadn't thought about it in that context before. Can you imagine a whole blanket with this concept? What if....? Some days are more surprising than others. Suddenly Eventually, with a slight change in direction, I find myself filled with new dreams. Based on old ones.

Yesterday evening, I put this here...

This morning, this...

Seems we are on the path to a more familiar October.

I often refer to the long cloth format as PathWork. I think it will be a good month for that. Just Going. I have a lot of pathworks in process.

Not so long ago, path became my symbol for in between. Today I am thinking: like a thread that connects here and there. And asking: where shall I we go?

I played a bit today with some old drawings. Three separate ones here. As a collage, one, the thread/stitch, connecting the other two. Just to use them in a new way. To remind myself how one thing is a path to another. And how sharing the way is also an offering, like a path not taken enough to become a road but then how it might become more with company. If we don't try to keep it hidden. We might all take it to somewhere. Have a picnic perhaps. Enjoy the view. Wander off to share the real story. Like the map it might be.
